ABOUT THE CITY.

MacCafferty was married for a year-he
has since become divorced. During the
period of marital experiences he paid visit
TO St Paul one evening with his better half
and on starting home they missed the train
and had to sleep among the saints. Mac left
the old lady IN an oyster restaurant while he
hustled up a room, finally succeeding in
renting one, but he had done it in the dark.
When the pair reached the room and locked
the door MacCafferty struck match, gazed
wildly over the chamber ana fell PROSTATE
on the floor. Mrs. Mac shrieked you old
fool what's the matter now?" but all Mac
could utter was: Pet my pet, look at the
bed" When at last she succeeded in seeing
the couch her own feelings became too full to
speak. 1t was Que of those do-da-day cots
about two by four. The trials of that night
MacCafferty has never related to his Bos-
well, but if there is any one in the town who
knows what single blessedness means, why
MacCafferty is your man.

When the residents at the corner of Third
avenue and Eighth street awoke yesterday
morning they were startled to see what ap-
peared to be veritable case of lynching in
the shape of the figure of man suspended
from the electric light pole Some gentle
men started out to allay the fears of the
ladies and in the expectancy of beholding
the forms of either Haskell or Hal Reid
They were deceived, however, and the figure
turned out to be an exceedingly well-clothed

gay boys in the neighborhood had strung up

Patrolman Fareskow, besides being the
largest man on the police force, is one of the
best-looking, and can turn his hand to almost
anything. But there is one thing that he
can not do successfully, and that is sew. He
tried it yesterday. and after prlcking his
fingers fourteen times, breaking two needles.
and finally sewing up the wrong place, he
gave it up and took the coat home TO be a t

So
The two men on the police force who re-
semble each other the closest are Capt Har-
vey of the First precinct and Lieut. Bean of
the second. They are about the same height
and wear whiskers trimmed i'll the same
fashion. and 1t is hard for a stranger to tell
them apart, A few days ago a gentleman
met Mr.. Bean, and the following day met Mr..
Harvey. He supposed ne was talking to the
same man, and touched upon subjects that
the captain knew nothing of. He was as
tonished when Harvey told him he qad never
seen him before, and was on the point of
telling the six-foot officer that he was a rela-
tive of Ananias, when Bean walked in and
explained matters

PALMER GETS THERE,
And So Does His Salary.---Expo-
sition Board Doings.

Genial Charley Palmer is in great
luck. He was yesterday reelected gen.
eral manager of the exposition and his
salary given a generous boost. At the
last meeting a committee to recommend
a nomination was appointed, and yester-
day it was unanimous in recommending
Palmer for a second term. The salary
was raised from $500 to $1,000 a
wear. which was equivalent
to vote of Endorsement. The PROPOSE
ton to increase the salary of the Secre-
tary by combining the Office of treas
urer with it was laid over until the an
nual meeting in December. The time
and length of the next exposition was
left in allegiance. Manager Palmer
recommended session of thirty-SiX
DAYS. or six weeks, and thought the
opening should not be later than Aug.
-. After considerable discussion the
matter was passed over, but the SEN
timent decidedly favored shorter term
and earlier opening. The plan of rehang-
ing the Scandinavian collection was
summarily knocked in the head, and
Supt. Smith was ordered to ship the pict-
ures back at once. Olaf ElliSOn'S dis
agreement with the minister at COpen-
hagen was referred to the manager with
power to act. The reports of the several
officers will be made at the annual meet
ing. but the board will assemble again
in two weeks.

The tradition was verified in the Knittle
case yesterday. A red-headed woman Lesti
fed and the evidence showed she drove to
the hardware store behind white horse.

The police commission being ''vindicated,"
will it please tell who did furnish the mon

W. NJ. Bracket rises to remark that he did
not accept the Office of superintendent of
police, and it was never offered to him.
Loren Fletcher. when asked what he
thought of the saltwater mess, said with
great expression: Let them skin their own
skunks.''
From their sweating agony, one might have
thought the police commission was on trial
yesterday-or at least some of it,
One of our attorneys who has watched the
Knitite case closely figures it out thusly: At
the time Worrall saw Franklin, in response
to his call, Franklin told him about his pro-
posed escape and desired his cooperation,
Franklin's pals, who had not been arrested,
to foot the bills. Worrall was indignant and
refused TO be a party to the crime. Franklin
urged secrecy ana said he would escape any
how. Worrall was afraid he might be COM
promised. and told County Attorney Davis
about the matter with the understanding that
be was not to be quoted, but did not tell who
the guilty assistant was. Davis sent for
Quinlan, and put him to work. Then
Quinlan sounded Curtis. but concluding not
10 go too far in that direction tipped off
Franklin. The escape. rearrest and police
commission investigation followed supple
mented by yesterdays trial. The mistake of
Davis and Quinlan was in being too certain
about Mrs. Clarity getting the monkey
wrench and placing too little stress on the
wrench procured within stones throw of
the lookup, or the wrench Franklin says
wouldn't work. Why was it:

AND THERE YOU AMT.
Street Commissioner Baird Wins
Victory With Aid. Lawrence's
Aid

Street Commissioner Baird Wins
Victory With Aid. Lawrence's
Aid.
Aid. Lawrence, who has been some
what under the weather, suffering from
severe cold which even Mrs. Winslow's
soothing syrup failed to cure, turned
up yesterday at the meeting of the
council committee appointed to investi-
gate the operations of Street Commits
siOner Baird. City Attorney Smith was
also present by large majority. Aids.
Cooley and Stoneman repeated their
opinions as to Baird'S incOmpetency.
Aid. Lawrence finally gave this eX-
preston concerning his man Friday,
which under the circumstances is some
what astonishing. He said:
] don't want to swear positively that Baird
Is incompetent but think there are many
men who can get more work out of men
under him than he has.
City Attorney Smith undertook to
teach the alderman lesson and said:
The street commissioner has nothing to do
with new grading, unless set to oversee it by
the council. That is ordered by the council
and done under the city engineer. The
street commissioner simply has to do with
the repair of streets and sidewalks, and the
aldermen have no authority over him. When
his work is done it is subject to the approval
of the aldermen of his ward and the city
engineer. That's about all there is of it.
The trouble is that the aldermen, especially
in the FIRST, Second and Third wards, have
been ordering their commissioners to spend
their funds on grading when they should be
applied TO sidewalk repairing. The result
has been number of damage suits by reason
of dangerous sidewalks. It's all wrong
I'VE aldermens, as Aid. L'Herault
puts it. Cooley and Stoneman each'put in
strong objections to the city attorneys
ruling, fOundered around, and finally
quit. The result of the investigation(Y
is that Mr.. Baird is acquitted.
